Dalit student attacked, no FIR even after four days: Family appeals to SSP for justice, accuses police of neglecting their pleas
A Dalit student was attacked in Fugana, Muzaffarnagar. It is alleged that Rudraksh, a Class 11 student, was assaulted outside the school. The incident occurred on October 7th, but even four days later, no FIR has been filed in the case.
Rudraksh studies at Kisan Inter College, Kharar. He stated that four students at the school frequently harassed him and used casteist slurs. When he complained to a teacher, the accused students became enraged.
On October 7th, after school was over, four students with their faces covered attacked him with sticks and rods outside the gate. Rudraksh suffered a head injury and fell unconscious. He was first referred to CHC Budhana and then to the district hospital.
The victim’s family alleges that they were not heard at the Fugana police station. Now, the family has appealed to the new SSP, Suraj Rai, for justice. Kharar Police Post in-charge Abhishek Chaudhary stated that all the children involved in the fight are minors; their parents are being called and action will be taken.
